I know that slashdot is the land of extremists, but why can't someone just like things that work? I've ran Windows(multiple variants), Linux(multiple distros), and now Mac os.

I know this is /. but WTF? Do any of you every have a lady friend over who might want to watch tv, and not sit in separate chairs in front of the computer?

One thing I still don't understand, why do 95% of the people on slashdot not get that this is not for them? It really is true sometimes that the smarter you are, the less common sense you have. Let me put this in terms you will understand:

You: Halt Mr. Jobs, is that a general purpose, open, computing device that I can load linux onto and do whatever I want with it?

Jobs(Waving hand): This is not the tablet you are looking for.....
